Sometimes an option, but for really random stuff it's hard to find anyone that would sell it. I need to replace the soft pads inside my bicycle helmet right now. You'd hope one of the five bicycle shops I could find would have them, right? And today I was looking into a dell ultra sharp monitor. 850+ on dell website. I have 10% employee discount, ok. But Scan sell for 735 and Amazon for 660. It's hard to say no to. I've seen plenty of examples where Amazon is far from cheapest, but manufacturer is somehow rarely the cheaper option.

Or is it 49%? If 100 is adjusted to be average across a target population, there's going to be a lot of people right on the mark... And it's not linear distribution, so there's more people scored 100 than there are 148 or 71... I should ask ChatGPT... ChatGPT said that 50% are above 100, 50% are below 100. Yeah, we're screwed.

We still know microplastics are bad because deliberately introducing them to lab animals produces all sorts of bad stuff. Our samples might be skewed towards showing more of them in more places than there actually are, so perhaps things are not quite as bad yet. On the other hand, the same bias could mean that micro plastics becomes a problem at smaller quantities than previously thought.
